Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2004 10:35:43 +0000 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Topicbox-Message-UUID: 06a941f2-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 Admittedly, I haven't tried Plan9 (other than the installer), but I've read a lot on the website. But I'm still somewhat confused: what is the benefit of Plan 9 over, say, Linux? What's different? I've read that everything's a file... ok, that's great, but what's the benefit in that? Is that the only improvement? --=20 Joel Konkle-Parker Webmaster [Ballsome.com] E-mail [jjk3@msstate.edu]
